Criminy. I thought they were already having problems with quantum tunneling at the current fab sizes. Wonder how they dealt with it this time?

Cool. Now we can all inject ourselves with nanites and see what happens when you hack into someone else's body.

LOL! But what happens when those girls start slapping him? Won't they knock something out of whack? I think that qualifies as a new definition of "force feedback!" ;) :D :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Everything is getting smaller!! Soon they'll be crancking out mobile phones the size of postage stamps and super computers the size of tic tacs. Though it would be cool to have all those little nanobots floating around, fixing whatever might be wrong with you. :D Oooooooh... Think, NANOSABERS!!! You got the hilt and then when you press the button, "whoom" this cluster of lil ol nano bots spews out to form a blade as thin as an atom, but stronger than titanium. So it can cut through everything... :D
I have returned... Again...

Wait a minute...

They've deceptively worded these things. By sticking nanometers as the units, they make it seem incredibly small. In actuality 90nm is only .09 microns (compared to today's standard .13 micron transitors) which is not THAT much smaller. So yes, it may increase it by a significant amount (2-3 times the transitor density) but nothing insanely huge that would create supercomputers in wristwatches or something :rolleyes:

Now when they start measuring in attometers (atto=10^-18)... ;7 ;7 ;7
